Safest way to buy from websites online?

What service/bank did you use to setup the "pre-paid" debit card as that sounds like the kind of thing I'm after? something I can use to pay for smaller cheaper items as required.

I'm with Santander. Both my normal and my prepaid debit cards appear in the app so I can simply move money as needed.

Every single transaction in Sweden has to be verified by BankID as it's called. I guess that's what's coming to the UK. You either have to answer an SMS or start an app and verify the transaction.
It sounds supersafe but it's reasonably easy to trick morons/old people into veryfying their self then 3rd party's having fun with your account.
But I guess you can do that anyway

Www.privacy.com is the sort of thing you are after, surprised there isn’t more to be honest.

I think it’s US only though.

I think what you really want is 'Insights' into your spending, something Starling and I'm sure a lot of the new fintech banks offer. For instance:

if (value >= £100) {
    myProduct = paymentMethod.creditCard(value);
}
else {
    myProduct = paymentMethod.paypal();
}
myProduct.getDelivered();

EDIT: Fixed a compile error

myProduct = value >= 100 ? paymentMethod.creditCard(value) : paymentMethod.paypal(value);

Merry Christmas
